Featured Areas

Hosting livestock sales at the Frederick Fairgrounds is nothing new. It’s no wonder countless associations and producers have chosen our site to hold their auction. When the gavel falls be sure your sale is being held in the newly renovated Spotlight on Champions Sale Barn. The sale barn has been renovated to provide better lighting, and painted for a cleaner and brighter appearance. The barn is equipped with holding pens for livestock as well as scales certified by the Maryland Department of Agriculture. 

Building 18 Livestock Sale Barn

 

 Grandstand and Stage

When the spotlights shine, make sure they are shining on your event being held center stage at the fairgrounds. What a wonderful place to have an outdoor concert in the early spring or summer or late fall. The grandstand/track seats between 2,976 to 4,365 people. The fairgrounds also has a box office with three ticket windows. If concerts are not what you are looking to feature, the 1/2 mile dirt track is excellent for
 tractor pulls, motorcycle races, or even rodeos.
